Ruling
The judgment states that, for the reasons given in the court’s Opinion and Order dated May 6, 2022, the defendant’s motion was granted and the complaint was dismissed with prejudice. A dismissal with prejudice ends the complaint and bars refiling the same claims. The judgment also states that the case is closed.
The judgment cites decisions discussing a plaintiff’s lack of entitlement to a further attempt after earlier unsuccessful efforts. Those citations do not, by themselves, explain the specific basis for the ruling in this case. The supplied text does not state whether the motion was a motion to dismiss, identify the legal standard applied, or show that the court decided the underlying claims on their merits.
